Room Below The Basement – Dedicated To Frank

The LIEBSTER Award

The Blues, A Blessing, and The Liebster Award

I had enough, I’m done, and I turned and walked away.

“What the.. ?  Oh this is real good”, as I looked at the dark hallway, “now they’re sure going to think you’ve lost it.”

“Hee-hee”

“Now I know I didn’t imagine that”, as my eyes searched the hallway, I realized there was a big, heavy door, that was locked and chained only a few feet from me on my right.  I moved as quietly as possible and leaned closer to the door…  something touched me on the right shoulder and as I jerked around, a hand was reaching for my throat!

My eyes bugged out of my head like binoculars and my jaw hurt from  trying to scream;  all the while water was flying all over the bathroom as I was attempting to back-paddle away from the cut-off hand.

Just as I saw the broomstick holding the glove up, I heard Frank’s laughter.

I was sitting straight-up in bed, looking around and wanting to cry, but I couldn’t help but bust out laughing, and shaking my head, “That Frank is in for it when I see him.”

When we were young boys, we never missed an opportunity to scare or surprise the other, or even our friends.  We never missed “Thriller”, “The Twilight Zone”, or any of the long list of scary movies, and the above good memory was after we watched “The Hand”, and Frank caught me in the bathtub.

Needless to say, Frank got my attention and reminded me that I still had an unfinished job to do:  To make this world a better place for all the Children!

So with that said, I dedicate this to Frank.

.jpg photo of Blogger AwardDo Our Blogging Awards Help Abused Children?

The Sunshine Blogger Award

Have you ever been busy, and suddenly realized that something is right in front of you, although you know it wasn’t there earlier?

It is the same with these Awards, but with a big exception, we know who they come from, because they are Blessings.  But there is no one that is paid for the work we do, and there is no money accepted  for any reason.   Everything is handled by Our Circle, because this was Our way of giving back for all we have been given in this lifetime.

Our Circle gave NOT IN MY WORLD!!!! G+ Page to Google and the people because of Our like-values, which is love of Our Children,  Our Friends and Family, and Our Country.  There is also members of Our Circle from other Countries.   But we wanted to see those same values, Love, Trust, Respect, Honor, Duty, and Responsibility, continue being taught to every Child because those are the values every good family member, friend, neighbor, citizen, employee, and official should possess.

One last point, and that is a donation can be used for any number of things, an Award is more limited, but both are a solid or physical thing.  A Blessing in this case is a physical thing also, but it is like air, light, water, it is a flowing and felt thing.  Felt as in through the senses.  Also, SEEING is a sense, which brings us to Our Title, and sub-title:  “A New Award, A New Page”, and “Do Our Blogging Awards Help Abused Children?”

Our new page will be Our FAQ Page,  with the first entry being “Do Our Blogging Awards Help Abused Children?”, and I am going to dedicate it to a Young Man that has a very Good, Caring Heart for others around him and isn’t afraid of showing and expressing himself in that regard, but he is also a very smart individual that pursues knowledge like a very good Friend of mine.

Just so this Young Man hears it from me first, when I went by his page, I was reminded of the movie “Animal House” and his name happens to be Mr. Pintowski.  With that I will answer one of the questions I have for My Nominees:  ” How many days a week do you wake-up in a bad mood”?
Seldom, in my whole life have I woke-up in a bad mood, but very few times have I got out of bed if I were in a bad mood.  I love having fun and a good time, but I will stress that Frank and I have always been very driven.

Now, I give you the reason for Our latest Award, PLEASE stop by and visit Mr Pintowski at:

Pintowski’s Blog
Envisioning A Better World
https://pintowski.wordpress.com

The rules for The Sunshine Blogging Award are:

  • Thank the person who nominated you
  • Answer the 11 questions from your nominator
  • Nominate 11 bloggers and give them 11 questions to answer

My 11 Questions for The SUNSHINE BLOGGER AWARD:

1. What makes your day?
Waking up in time to watch the sunrise

2. Where is your inspiration from on your daily posts?
Making the world a better place for Children

3. What are your thoughts about your environment and neighborhood?
I have always been 1 with nature and the out doors, and if man doesn’t stop polluting the oceans, this earth cannot last much longer,

4. What one thing would you do to make the difference?
Anything within reason

5. What does life mean to you?
Life is sacred

6. What is your best sacrifice?
I have sacrificed nothing, anything this life has cost me, was long paid back more than double by the Man it made me.

7. Where else would you have been in life, if you had the power to do so?
Finished

8. Tell me what you know about ideology.
OK, if you are sure Mr. Pintowski.
I do not believe that there are any Children or working class people in the ideology of Our country as it stands now, except as after-thoughts or people dead in the ground.

9. Do people really change?
There are some that change things about themselves, but as far as someone who under-goes a near-complete transformation….  yes I believe it is possible that there have been a small number of people who might have completed a near-total make-over.

10. One thing you like about my blog.
I am going to list 2:  I like the stance you take, your stance is as every young person, with one difference, there is something else which is hard to put a label on, a little added “wisdom” or “outlook”  of one who has seen more or encountered more than one of this age.
Also, the way you interact with your readers is slightly different.

11. One thing you dislike about my posts.
I don’t always get to read your posts.

A NEW YEAR, A NEW AWARD

.jpg photo of Blogging AwardNOT IN MY WORLD!!!! has been nominated for the LIEBSTER AWARD!!!!

This is indeed a Blessing to us, and I want to say Thank You Jennifer for this nomination.   It is an Honor to introduce Jennifer, Blogger and the Motivator at “Motivation for today’s REALITY“.
https://jenmotivates12.wordpress.com/

Jennifer is a very special person, and we want her to know how much we appreciate this, just as we appreciate her being an important part of Our Circle on Google.

I want to say Thank You WordPress, for all you do for the Citizens of this Giant Metropolis;   you keep us moving forward year after year, with cutting edge, state of the art Themes, Widgets, and new, easier ways of doing the blogging that bloggers do, for bloggers like me and you.

NOT IN MY WORLD!!!! wants to say Thank You to all of the Citizens of the WordPress Metropolis.

And finally, to all of Our Faithful Followers who so diligently labor for all Our Children of this world:  Google+, WordPress, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, and LinkedIn:

NOW is the time to spread the word of what is visited upon Our Children every minute of every day, known now as “Child Maltreatment”, but in all reality is Neglect,  Shaken Baby Syndrome, Heat Stroke in locked cars, Physical Abuse and Physical Abuse ending in traumatic death, Mental Abuse, Malnourishment, Incest and Child Sexual Abuse, Child Sexual Slavery, Sexual Abuse of and DEATH OF INFANTS, and the fact that at least 10,000,000 Children 13 years of age and up will contract an STI or an STD or even more than 1 this year.  But that does not count the ones from BIRTH TO 13 YEARS OF AGE that simply is probably listed  as an oversight by the DHHS and the DPS, since there is no formal list and tainted number!!!!

Rules for The Liebster Award

  1. Make a post thanking and linking the person who nominated me and include the Liebster Award sticker in the post.
  2. Nominate 5-10 other bloggers and notify them of this in one of their posts.
